Drawing a horizontal line at the close of a H1 candle on the Dow

  Hi

  Is there any code available for drawing a simple horizontal line across a chart, based upon the close of a candle at a set time each day? For example, a horizontal line at the close of the 1pm H1 candle  on the Dow? The line would need to ‘expire’ (delete itself) when the next days line is drawn.

  Many thanks

  I think this code should work correctly for this purpose:

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true if time=130000 then value=close endif drawhline(value) return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true   if time=130000 then value=close endif   drawhline(value)   return

  Hi

  When I try to plot this indicator on a separate pane it plots a 0, when plotted in main pane nothing appears.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

  Because the separate don’t adapt automatically its scale with plotted object like horizontal line. If you change the last line of the code with:

  return value

  1	return value

  it should adapt itself automatically.

  Why it doesn’t show on the main pane? .. be sure the instrument has quote at time it saves the value (1 pm in the code).

  Thanks Nicolas. That works, just as the original one works.

  I wish to plot the Open, High and Low of the first 30 minutes of trading and want it to be displayed on a 5 or 10 min chart. Is this possible?

  Also, I wish to plot yesterday’s Open, High and Low on continuous data ie will have to be able to specify open hours and should also be able to display in various time frames.  Is this possible?

  I realize the requests are much more than the original topic – would it be preferable to start these requests as separate ?

  Thank you.

  Yes you can store a time in a variable, it’s nothing more than a number 🙂

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true mytime = 150000 if time=mytime then value=close endif drawhline(value) return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true   mytime = 150000   if time=mytime then value=close endif   drawhline(value)   return

  hi @nicolas,

  thanks for getting back.. what i meant was.. adding two lines on the chart one at 130000 and one at 150000. and a way to switch those times (add on the variables- like tick or untick) so we can either see two lines on the chart or we can untick to see one?!?! tried below but its a big failure!!

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true mytime = 150000 mytime1 = 130000 if time=mytime and mytime1 then value=close endif drawhline(value) return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true mytime = 150000 mytime1 = 130000 if time=mytime and mytime1 then value=close endif drawhline(value)   return

  Ok, here is the modified code for that purpose:(draw0 and draw1 boolean variables been introduced)

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true mytime0 = 150000 draw0 = 1 //1=true, 0=false mytime1 = 130000 draw1 = 0 //1=true, 0=false if time=mytime0 then value0=close endif if draw0 then drawhline(value0) endif if time=mytime1 then value1=close endif if draw1 then drawhline(value1) endif return

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

  defparam drawonlastbaronly=true mytime0 = 150000 draw0 = 1 //1=true, 0=false mytime1 = 130000 draw1 = 0 //1=true, 0=false if time=mytime0 then value0=close endif if draw0 then drawhline(value0) endif   if time=mytime1 then value1=close endif if draw1 then drawhline(value1) endif   return

  draw0 = 1 //1=true, 0=false

  1	draw0 = 1 //1=true, 0=false

  That means if you set “draw0” to 1, it will plot the line. Set to 0, it will plot nothing. Same for “draw1” to draw or not the second line.
